Ladii Dimplezzz: Love, love this place. Great atmosphere, service, drinks and a giant jenga in the middle of the backroom!
Mary Doyle: My favorite bar in Harlem. A real jukebox (no touch screen!), giant Jenga, shuffleboard, and big buck hunter. Plus beers are cheap.

Nash Pleasant: Great dive in Times Square with cheap booze. Great tunes on the juke box
Esquire: Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Boxing posters and Christmas lights: a perfect place. Get a $3 Bud Light.
Village Voice: One of the few places near Times Square NOT packed with tourists, escape the commotion and if you’re lucky Jimmy himself might be around to make you a signature Hurricane.

Stefano Guidolin: You come here for Russian beer right? It's the Baltika! Get the #9 if you are feeling brave, it's the best!
Janice: Feels like a Communist when I'm here. Uh-oh parents wouldn't like that, would they...?

Anastasia Lebedenko: The coolest place! Small bar with an amazing atmosphere. They have a big list of different shots, some of them are thematic and have some “surprise” when you order them. Good cheap long drinks as well
The Corcoran Group: If you’re looking for a place to laugh, and do lots of shots, then this is your place! There are literally 100s of varieties of themed shots – get the Harry Potter or the Return of the King.
Rebecca Bock: Convince one of your friends to do a Full Metal Jacket shot

Marissa Stuart: I really like the Sharks on the wall. Really cozy spot for post work drinks.
Matt Doherty: This place has history for a lot of people. Have a beer over your next big idea here. I told myself I wanted to move to NYC at this bar, 8 months later I moved down the block without even realizing it
Clayton: No frills, just sharks.
Nicky Petroni: Cheap drinks, good vibes, and a great place to start your night out
Lisa: I was digging the music, you can't go wrong with 90's pop.
Dustin Haley: Small, but good little gay bar that definitely had a more local feel to it than some others I had visited.
Rob H: Great east village dive. Cheap beer and buck hunter. So yes, I end up here regularly.
Men's Health Mag: If you have the energy to close out a night right, this is the place to do it. They filmed some of Crocodile Dundee and Godfather II here, to give you a sense of its grand tattered quality.
Uber NYC: An East Village institution, you'll often see film shoots at this bar. Lots of inexpensive beers, but you can also class up with your evening with some champagne. A dive bar with Dom P. :)
